Clean Pristine or Swing Migrations?

Hello all I am currently working on the migration project of our Windows Server 2003 domain to a Windows R2 2008 domain. Our single domain is small with about 160 user acounts. I've tried doing a swing migration but somehow could not get the DNS server to work on the R2 server. I am currently

What was the problem you had with DNS? If the domain was well maintained, and there are no other reasons for building a new domain, I would be *much* more inclined to bring up new 2008 servers in the existing domain, and then decommission the older DC infrastructure. * * *ASB*

PassProp question

I know that this utility was run on some systems in our environment, allowing local admin account to be locked out. Does anyone know how to test for this? I'd like to see how many it was run on, but don't know what to check for. Thanks, Chris Bodnar, MCSE, MCITP Technical Support III
